Teaching Dogs to Stay Relaxed in Everyday Situations: A Training Guide

Many dogs find it challenging to sit still and stay relaxed in various everyday scenarios. Whether it's during meal preparation when your dog eagerly moves around in anticipation of a treat or at social gatherings with family and friends when your dog struggles to unwind, the ability to remain calm and composed is a valuable skill. The purpose of this training program is to instruct your dog to adopt a sitting (or lying down, if preferred) position, relax, adapt to their surroundings, and establish a consistent behavioral pattern that will aid in handling future changes in their environment.

By diligently following this training regimen, you will create a solid foundation and equip your dog with the necessary skills to maintain a state of calm in a wide range of situations. The primary objective is to cultivate your dog's trust in you, recognizing that you are in control of the situations you both encounter, thereby allowing both you and your dog to relax.

Please note that the complete article, including this training program, is available in a downloadable PDF format on the members' page, and it is offered entirely free of charge, now and always.
